For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, that all who believed in Him would be saved and have everlasting life. John 3:16
This Christmas, let us remember and celebrate God's love for us. It was through His love that we were saved from the darkness. Don't believe me? Let us personalize this truth: For God so loved you that He gave His only son for you, that if you believe in Him, you will be saved and have everlasting life. God did not give His son for a planet, Jesus did not die on a cross for the globe, but for you! You were loved by God before you ever existed. God gave His son for you. Jesus died for you.
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ, the Savior is born
Christ, the Savior is born
This is what made Jesus' birth so holy, so magical. Until then God had never given His son for mankind. He had done wonderful things for mankind, but not this, a complete sacrifice for an undeserving people. Why did God sacrifice His only son for an undeserving people? Because He loved us and desired a relationship with us, a relationship that would last beyond our lives on earth. If our relationship wasn't going to last beyond our physical lives then there would be no point. But God didn't want His relationship with us to end and gave His son that we might be able to live with Him forever. I say might because it is our decision to make. God doesn't force us to choose, but rather embraces us when we make the choice on our own. The choice is yours.
Do you have room in your inn for Jesus this Christmas?
